Question
The system administrator created a file sharing service to the cloud for easier access for those working remotely. Which of the following tests should be performed to determine if services can be compromised?
Options
- ATest storage
- BTest latency
- CVulnerability assessment
- DPenetration testing
Explanation
Penetration testing actively simulates attacks against a system to determine whether services can actually be compromised, making it the appropriate test for validating cloud file sharing security.
Common mistakes.
- A. Testing storage evaluates capacity and I/O performance metrics, not whether the service is vulnerable to security compromise by an attacker.
- B. Testing latency measures network response times and has no bearing on whether the service can be exploited or compromised.
- C. A vulnerability assessment identifies and reports potential weaknesses but does not actively exploit them to confirm whether the service can actually be breached.
